Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007009786A1] The invention relates to an irradiation device (1) for proton and/or ion beam treatment, said device comprising a radiation source (3), a beam guiding device (5), and at least one treatment chamber (7) comprising a treatment site (9) and an access (17), into which a treatment beam (13) is directed. The invention is characterised in that the treatment chamber (7) is arranged in a first plane (E1), and the treatment beam (13) is directed into the treatment chamber (7) from a second plane (E2) located above or below the first plane, deviated therein, and oriented towards the treatment site (9) in such a way that it is oriented away from the access (17); the treatment chamber is provided with a shield (33) which is open towards the treatment site (9) and associated with the entrance region (E) of the treatment beam (13) in the treatment chamber (7); the access (17) is arranged on the side of the shield (33) opposing the treatment site (9); and at least one labyrinth (L) leading from the access (17) to the treatment site (9) is laterally offset in relation to the treatment beam (13) projecting into the treatment chamber (7) and to the shield (33).
